The best thing to do would be ask your bookseller if they have the book in a format other than PDF, preferably in a Kindle format, or failing that as EPUB.

However, if you have MS Word editing skills and your knowledge of editing ePub internals (XHTML and CSS) is limited, I suggest you correct the errors in Word, save as DOCX and then convert the DOCX. See ==>> Format specific conversion tips.

I would convert to EPUB, you may need to do a bit of editing of the EPUB with the calibre editor before converting it to a Kindle format.

This Word add-on might be useful to you ==>> e-Book Tools - a Word add-in. It includes tools specifically targeted at dealing with messy documents created from scanning and PDF conversions. And it can create the EPUB directly.
